Angiotensin II induces soluble fms-Like tyrosine kinase-1 release via calcineurin signaling pathway in pregnancy [PDF]

, 2007
Maternal endothelial dysfunction in preeclampsia is associated with increased soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), a circulating antagonist of vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor.

Natriuretic action of angiotensin(1–7) [PDF]

British Journal of Pharmacology, 1994
Evidence that angiotensin (1–7) (Ang(1–7)) is biologically active and can be synthesized by the kidney prompted us to examine its actions in the rat, isolated kidney. Ang(1–7) had three major effects producing, (1) a substantial natriuresis and diuresis, (2) an increase in urinary sodium concentration associated with a fall in potassium concentration ...

Angiotensin-(1–7) reduces α-synuclein aggregation by enhancing autophagic activity in Parkinson’s disease

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022
Abnormal accumulation of α-synuclein contributes to the formation of Lewy bodies in the substantia nigra, which is considered the typical pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease.

Angiotensin-(1–7) exerts a protective action in a rat model of ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction

Intensive Care Medicine Experimental, 2019
Background Ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD) is a common event during mechanical ventilation (MV) leading to rapid muscular atrophy and contractile dysfunction. Recent data show that renin-angiotensin system is involved in diaphragmatic

Does angiotensin-1 converting enzyme genotype influence motor or cognitive development after pre-term birth? [PDF]

, 2005
Background Raised activity of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may both amplify inflammatory and free radical responses and decrease tissue metabolic efficiency and thus enhance cerebral injury in the preterm infant.

The Effects of Angiotensin II or Angiotensin 1-7 on Rat Pial Microcirculation during Hypoperfusion and Reperfusion Injury: Role of Redox Stress

Biomolecules, 2021
Renin–angiotensin systems produce angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7), which are able to induce opposite effects on circulation. This study in vivo assessed the effects induced by Ang II or Ang 1-7 on rat pial microcirculation during ...

Angiotensin-(1-7) Attenuates Angiotensin II-Induced ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and MCP-1 Expression via the MAS Receptor Through Suppression of P38 and NF-κB Pathways in HUVECs

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2015
Background/Aims: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) play important roles in inflammatory processes.
